broken f80 m3

roland heeralall · 02-27-2016, 05:50 AM

hi guys.

my 2014 m3 is behaving exactly like my n55 335i.
showing similar problems. bmw have changed spark plugs,electronic
water pump to the turbos. gave me the car back only to my disgust
that after 2 days came up with same fault as before.

car is back with bmw, now waiting for water tank to arrive from
germany.

anyone else with similar probs.car is doing 35000 kms

I'll bite.... Is it a 2015? I didn't think they made a 2014.

Are you stock or tuned?

roland heeralall · 03-02-2016, 03:55 AM

yes it is a 2014 f80 aston yellow m3.
the car is stock.
the guys at bmw tell me that they are fitting on an additional
cooler for the turbos. there have been six such problems world
wide.

They didn't make a 2014 M3

he's not wrong guys. we had it over here in the UK in 2014 too...

For some very strange reason the F80 which was launched and sold in 2014 is known as MY15 in the US, I think they do that with all cars.
